Predicting the NY Giants wide receiver depth chart

WR4: Binjimen Victor

Finally, here’s where things get interesting.

And where my whole complaining about the lack of size in the corps comes full circle, because if you want size, Binjimen Victor’s got it in spades.

The undrafted receiver out of Ohio State stands 6’4” and he looks every bit of it. The reason he was undrafted wasn’t that he was unproductive, too slow, or that he couldn’t catch the football; he’s just very lanky.

Weighing in at just 199 pounds, scouts and personnel men opined that he would get pushed around at the next level — I disagree. He is the perfect option for the NY Giants for their #4 WR because he is a touchdown catching machine.

Victor finished his career at Ohio State with 18 touchdowns, good for tenth-best all-time at the prestigious university — that’s no small task. When it comes to prospects, I tend to believe that if a player can flourish in the SEC or at Ohio State, he can at least hang in the NFL.

And that’s all the NY Giants need him to do. The corps already has three guys that can catch passes in bunches, Victor can just come in for red zone duty and in four-wide packages where his size will have to be respected.

In my opinion, had Victor chosen another college to attend he would have been drafted fairly high. Other than Michael Thomas, not too many wideouts do well in the NFL due to the nature of Urban Meyer’s (and now Ryan Day’s) spread offense because there are so many receivers on the field.

For the NY Giants, we just need Victor to do one thing, and it happens to be the thing he’s best at — catching touchdowns in one-on-one situations in the red zone.

In the end, it will likely be either Victor or his former Ohio State teammate, Austin Mack (who was given more guaranteed money to sign), who gets the nod on the active roster.

I choose the bigger player that fits better in the system for what we need.
